Impressed with a sense of the inseparable connec- 
tion between the education of youth and the preva- 
lence of pure morals, with the duty of all communi- 
ties to place within the reach of the poor as well as 
the rich the inestimable blessings of knowledge, and 
with the high necessity of establishing at the seat of 
the General Grovernment proper seminaries of learn- 
ing, the City Councils do pass an act to establish and 
endow a permanent institution for the education of 
youth in the city of Washington, The superinten- 
dence of public schools within the city of Washing- 
ton shall be placed under the direction of a Board of 
Trustees chosen from among the residents of the city. 
The Board shall appoint a Treasurer. They shall 



35 



have power to receive donations, and to vest and ap- 
ply the funds placed under their care in such a man- 
ner as they may see fit, not inconsistent with the acts 
of the Council. 

Approved December 5, 1804. 



By the act of July 2Yth, 1826, in compliance with 
the requisitions of the charter, and agreeably to cer- 
tain resolutions passed by the corporation and ap- 
proved by the President of the United States, the sum 
of $40,000 is appropriated, solemnly pledged, and set 
apart for endowing the Public Schools of Washing- 
ton. The Mayor is authorized and required to pur- 
chase corporation and other safe stocks, bearing an 
interest of not less than six per centum per annum, 
to be kept vested continually and forever after, by 
the said Mayor, for the support of Public Schools. 

By the act of February 25, 1833, the Mayor is au- 
thorized and required to purchase annually for the 
school fund, to be set apart forever for the endow- 
ment and support of Public Schools in the city of 
Washington, corporation or other safe stock, bearing 
an interest of not less than six per cent, per annum, 
with the entire balance which may remain to the 
credit of said fund over and above the amount appro- 
priated in each year for the support of Public Schools.

PUBLIC SCHOOL FUXDS. 



The monev known as the School Fund of this city, 
arises from three sources, viz : 

1st. An investment, now accumulated by investment 
of accrued interest to $50,540, in Corporation six per 
cent, stock. 

2d. A tax of one dollar upon every free white male 
citizen of the age of 21 years and upwards; the pro- 
ceeds of which are, by the 3d Section of the Act of 
May 22, 184S, "set apart and pledged for the estab- 
lishment of Public Schools in this city, and /or no other 
purpose." 

3d. The general assessment of 10 cents on every 
$100, of all real and personal property, stocks, bonds, 
&c., in this city, the proceeds of which, in the lan- 
guage of the Annual Tax Act. •' shall be set apart and 
used for the support of the Public Schools of this city, 
and for no other purpose." 

The accrued interest on the invested fund, is trans- 
ferred quarterly by the Register, to ihe credit of the 
school fund. 

The per-capita tax. as well as that arising from as- 
sessment, is collected by the Collector, and by him 
from time to time deposited, separating from all other 
funds and depositing to its credit the portion accruing 
to the School Fund. 

This money is drawn from time to time, by the 
Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, by written requisi- 
tion, approved by the Mayor, on which the warrant of 
the Register is drawn.
